Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data the Screen Timer iPhone app (the "App") and the screentimer-app.com website (the "Website") handle, why, and what choices you have. Screen Timer is made by [DEVELOPER NAME] ("we", "us"). If anything here is unclear, write to [SUPPORT EMAIL].

1. Screen Time data in the App

Screen Timer is built on Apple's Screen Time frameworks (Family Controls, Device Activity and Managed Settings). To work, the App asks for Screen Time permission for your own iPhone. Here is what that means:

• You choose apps in Apple's own picker. Apple gives the App opaque tokens for your choices, not readable app names, and no browsing history or app content.
• Your settings stay on your device. Your daily limit, session length, breaks and today's sessions are stored only on your iPhone, in storage shared between the App and its extensions.
• Counting and locking happen on your device. iOS tells the App's extensions when a session should end, and Apple's shield locks the apps. None of this leaves your iPhone.
• The countdown in the Dynamic Island (a Live Activity) is drawn by iOS on your iPhone from data the App gives it locally. It is not sent to us.

Deleting the App removes this data from your iPhone. You can also turn off Screen Timer's Screen Time access at any time in iOS Settings.

2. What we don't collect

The App does not have accounts and does not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, location, or browsing history. It contains no advertising and no advertising or tracking SDKs. We do not "track" you as Apple defines it: we don't link data from the App with data from other companies for advertising, and we don't share it with data brokers. We configure our subscription provider not to collect your device's advertising identifier (IDFA).

3. Subscriptions and Adapty

Some features of the App may need a paid subscription, bought inside the App through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment. We never receive your card details, Apple ID or billing address. Apple's handling of your purchase is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.

To show the subscription screen, confirm purchases and know whether your subscription is active, the App uses Adapty, a service run by Adapty Tech Inc. When the App starts, Adapty receives:

• a random profile ID created by the App (not linked to your name or Apple ID);
• App Store transaction details: product, price and currency, purchase, renewal and expiry dates, trial status and transaction IDs;
• basic device and app information: device model, iOS version, language, region and App version;
• events about the subscription screen, such as when it was shown and whether a purchase was made.

We use this data to unlock what you paid for, restore purchases, prevent fraud, and see in aggregate how the subscription screen performs (for example, comparing two versions of it). We do not use it for advertising. Adapty processes this data for us under a data processing agreement. See Adapty's Privacy Policy.

Legal basis (where GDPR, UK GDPR or KVKK applies): performing our contract with you (providing what you bought) and our legitimate interest in running and improving the App's subscription screen.

4. Crash reports

If you turn on "Share With App Developers" in iOS Settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports and diagnostics. They help us fix bugs and don't identify you. You can turn this off in iOS Settings at any time.

5. When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to answer you and to fix the problem you reported.

6. The Website

Hosting

The Website is served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, Cloudflare processes your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It doesn't use cookies or local storage and doesn't build a profile of you. It tells us things like page views, referring sites, country and device type, in aggregate.

Advertising measurement

We may later measure our ads with tools such as the Meta Pixel on the Website. These set cookies, so if we add them we will ask for your consent first, let you change your choice at any time, and update this policy before they go live. These tools are for the Website only and are never added to the App.

Fonts and other resources

The Website's fonts, images and video are served from our own host, not from third-party servers.

7. Who we share data with

We share data only with service providers that help us run Screen Timer, and only for the purposes above:

• Apple – App Store purchases, subscriptions and optional crash reports.
• Adapty Tech Inc. – subscription status and the subscription screen.
• Cloudflare, Inc. – Website hosting and cookieless analytics.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by California law. We may disclose data if the law requires it, or as part of a sale or merger of the App, in which case this policy continues to apply.

8. How long we keep data

• Screen Time settings and sessions: on your iPhone until you delete the App. We never hold a copy.
• Subscription records (Adapty): while your subscription is active and afterwards for as long as needed for accounting, tax and fraud-prevention duties, then deleted or anonymized.
• Support emails: until your question is resolved, and no longer than 24 months after that.
• Website logs: kept by Cloudflare for a short period for security and delivery. Analytics are only kept in aggregate.

9. International transfers

Our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires it, these transfers are protected by safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, Türkiye's KVKK or California's CCPA), you may have the right to:

• know what data we hold about you and get a copy;
• have it corrected or deleted;
• object to or restrict how we use it;
• withdraw consent you have given;
• complain to your local data protection authority.

Because the App has no accounts, we usually can't tell which records belong to you. When you write to [SUPPORT EMAIL], include the order ID of your App Store purchase (you'll find it at reportaproblem.apple.com) so we can find your subscription record. We answer within 30 days. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.

11. Children

Screen Timer is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Security

We keep the data we handle to a minimum, and our providers protect it in transit with encryption. No system is perfectly secure, but the data that matters most, your Screen Time choices and habits, never leaves your iPhone.

13. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If the change is significant, for example a new kind of data or a new provider, we will say so on the Website or in the App before it takes effect.
